Since KOTOVOD administration issued a call for more cat researchers at the factory, thousands of cat scientists have applied their CVs, and hundreds of them landed the job. Congratulations to them! Of course, not all the researchers hired by our HR dept. are skilled enough to perform certain researches, but they are still welcome to join because of how cute they are... That is, if the Factory is generating enough money, but that is a problem to be solved by our tireless engineers.

Still, even incompetent scientists are contributing to everyone's work! In fact, research has become so effective that certain engineers started experiencing confusion when planning their daily tasks. In his eternal wisdom, Dr. Katz decided to personally resolve this issue by offering random requests to be completed at the Factory. Since KOTOVOD is a democratic institution, these tasks will be completely optional, of course. Hard labor 24/7 is still mandatory for all engineers, though.

In other news, fishing by hand is legal again on Mars territory! Due to the delicacy of Martian biorobot fish species (kindly provided by the I.L.L.U.M.I.N.A.T.I.), it was previously considered unwise to try catching that fish with a tool as crude as fishing rod. But KOTOVOD population of cat residents is growing by day, and they must have their munchies, so every fish counts! Go catch some, engineer (if and when you don't have work stuff to do, which is unlikely)!

Here's how Mars fish looks like when being caught:



(Please don't feel sorry for it: you know that those fish are not actual fish, don't you?)

All is well at Learning Factory. Glory to science! Glory to KOTOVOD!
